Birthday Treat


I'm planning to really spoil Beauty next month (on my birthday) and I would like ideas on how to spoil her.

Cat treats are out because she won't touch them with the proverbial bargepole.

Re: Birthday Treat


Does she like catnip or toys? You said she didn't really like to play though & she doesn't like treats either...thats a tough one! I'll still have to think...

Re: Birthday Treat


Catnip comes to mind, unless she's one of the few that don't react to it....does she enjoy a really good grooming session? Or special lap/cuddle time?

She USED to like catnip, she seems to be unresponsive to it now though.

Toys she won't go near. She used to have a toy rat, played with it twice then it vanished.

I can groom her for a few minutes, then she decides it's time to do other things.

She seems to enjoy sleeping on my lap, on HER terms though. (lies on my lap purring her head off)

Re: Birthday Treat


Wow, she is going to be a difficult cat to spoil! A new cat tree? Or bed, or a crinkly tunnel? A nice thermal cushion? My Leia is a difficult cat also, but she really loves her thermal cushion and the crinkly tunnel...that's why I suggested them....

Re: Birthday Treat


What about a feather toy that you could pull around so she could chase it?
If she likes that sort of thing...I'm trying to think of everything!

I'll see about getting her a toy that you can drag along. Not a feathered one, she's still a bit wary of feathered things, particularly if they fly!

No feathers for Beauty! She gets a little scared when she sees birdies?

A little bit, most of the time.

She might have got attacked by a birdie before she came to us.

Maybe something edible would suit her? Any suggestions for nice edible things?

(not salmon - she doesn't like that!)
